Lesse...

FDR:
IQ: 17
ME: 18
MA: 30
PS: 4
PE: 5
PP: 4
PB: 15
Spd: 3

Just goes to show you don't need to be great physically to be a hero. and I would say that FDR has an MA of 30. We're talking about someone who was virtually deified within his own lifetime.

It depends on if you are going by the actual person or exaggerating abilities based on legends surrounding them.

As a historical figure, I would have 30's in all stats. :D

Very interesting.

I wondered if someone would try to create stats for FDR. There are other people I've always wanted to do: Adolf Hitler, JFK, Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Churchhill, Stalin, Mao, Gandhi, Einstein, etc. Especially for a Heroes Unlimited World War II or 1960s counterculture campaign.

Yes, it's true, you don't have to have super abilities to be a hero.

Though mentioning specifics will shut down this thread, you might look at other game systems for realistic stats and to see what they thought the figures would be like.

I'd like to see Ghengis Khan, Billy the Kid, Vlad the Impaler, William Wallace, Alexander the Great, Einstein, Rasputin.

I'd imagine many of the pantheon gods were inspired by living legends who were just exceptional humans who were really really good at what they did. A few generations of story telling embellished and exaggerated them into godhood.
